Virtual ip visibility from provider

[k.z.l.]

Hi!

During CARP setup, you have to choose a virtual IP address. This IP is not available from the provider side, can't even ping it.
Is there any chance to make it visible? I'd like to run OpenVPN through this IP, which is shared between the boxes.

Thanks!

Do your firewall rules allow the access to the virtual IP?

If your WAN rules were set to permit access to "WAN address", you now have to modify the destination in rules to CARP VIP.

I've modified the rule's destination from "WAN address" to "Single host or alias" and gave the CARP VIP.
Unfortunately, the client can't connect.

Now it is working. I've had to choose for the OpenVPN server the CARP VIP as an interface.
Thank you!
